Hailing from Chile's sun-drenched Central Valley, Concha y Toro's Frontera Chardonnay is a celebration of the country's extraordinary natural boundaries. The 'Frontera' name pays homage to the dramatic geography that isolates and protects Chile's vineyards—the towering Andes to the east, the vast Pacific to the west, the arid desert to the north, and ancient glaciers to the south. This unique geography creates a natural sanctuary for viticulture. Crafted to be fresh, vibrant, and highly approachable, this Chardonnay is fermented primarily in stainless steel tanks to preserve the pure, unadorned character of the grape. It captures the essence of the Central Valley's warm days and cool nights, delivering a bright, fruit-forward profile defined by notes of citrus, pineapple, and peach, backed by a refreshing acidity.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Santiago Concha y Toro and his wife, Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is Chile's most historic and globally recognized winery, headquartered in the picturesque commune of Pirque within the Maipo Valley. Under the stewardship of the Guilisasti family since the mid-20th century, the estate has expanded its reach across Chile's premier terroirs, from the coastal breezes of Casablanca to the warm, clay-rich soils of Peumo in the Cachapoal Valley. The winery is celebrated for its pioneering spirit and commitment to sustainability, producing world-class wines that showcase the diverse microclimates of Chile. Their portfolio is anchored by iconic expressions such as the critically acclaimed Carmín de Peumo Carmenere, the terroir-driven Terrunyo line, and the legendary, globally beloved Casillero del Diablo range.
